Cosmetic Dispensing Carousel Segmentation for Stable Custom Formulations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current personalized skin care systems are limited in their ability to provide customized, stable, and efficacious compositions tailored to individual skin conditions, often relying on universal serums or pre-formulated products that may not address specific skin needs effectively.
Innovation Solution
A system that includes a dispensing arrangement with a movable carousel for selectively dispensing booster compositions and a base composition based on a compatibility profile and skin condition, using a skin profile to determine the necessary formulation for forming a stable composition with efficacious concentrations of active ingredients.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If universal serums or pre-formulated products are used, then device complexity is reduced and ease of manufacture is improved, but adaptability to individual skin conditions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The skin care system is segmented into modular components: a base composition and multiple selectable booster compositions (e.g., vitamin C, retinol, hyaluronic acid). This allows the base product to be manufactured once while enabling customization through different booster combinations, resolving the contradiction between ease of manufacture and adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The base composition serves as a universal platform that can accommodate multiple different booster compositions. This multi-functional design allows a single base formulation to support various skin care needs by simply changing the booster components, achieving both manufacturing efficiency and customization.
2Adaptability or versatility
If customized formulations with multiple active ingredients are created, then adaptability to specific skin conditions is improved, but stability of the composition deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
By separating the base composition from the booster compositions, the system allows each component to be optimized for stability independently. The base remains stable as a universal platform, while boosters are added in controlled amounts specifically for customized treatments, preventing instability from excessive active ingredients.
Solution Approach 2:
The system controls the concentration and combination parameters of active ingredients by selecting specific boosters to add to the base. This parameter control ensures that customized formulations maintain stability while achieving the desired adaptability to different skin conditions.
3Manufacturing precision
If multiple booster compositions are dispensed with precise concentrations, then manufacturing precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The dispensing system is segmented into a carousel holding multiple pre-formulated booster compositions and a dispensing mechanism. This segmentation allows precise control of each booster type while keeping the overall device structure relatively simple and manageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The system achieves manufacturing precision by controlling the volume or concentration parameters of each booster dispensed into the base composition. The dispensing arrangement is configured to dispense precise amounts of each booster type, ensuring accurate formulation without requiring overly complex device architecture.

AI summary
A system forms a cosmetic composition. The system includes a dispensing arrangement in selective fluid communication with a plurality of dispensing dosing receptacles mounted on a movable carousel. The dispensing arrangement is configured to selectively dispense a plurality of the booster compositions together with a base composition corresponding to a formulation corresponding to a compatibility profile and consumer skin conditions to form a stable composition having efficacious concentrations of active ingredients into a receiving receptacle.
